My little white lie didn’t last very long! | Source: Shutterstock
I lazily rolled out of bed that morning and walked into the bathroom to get ready to meet my parents at home for lunch. But as soon as I took a good look at myself in the mirror, I knew that I was in huge trouble. Three huge, purple, disgusting-looking hickeys were staring right back at me from different places on my neck. It may have felt super sensual and amazing at the time they were created, but now they were just bad souvenirs of my spicy night.
There was NO WAY my parents would believe that I somehow acquired these monstrosities at an all-girls sleepover party. I had no idea what to do! Obviously since I was at my boyfriend’s house, I didn’t have any of my concealer to disguise them under. I couldn’t really get away with wearing a turtle neck because it was the middle of summer and I had never really been a warm-weather scarf-wearing kind of gal. It’s safe to say, I was in deep doo-doo.

After I soldiered through the 10 minutes of angry screaming from her end of the phone call and the even-more-difficult-to-endure five minutes of “disappointment,” things took a totally surprising turn for the better. She told me to come home immediately and she would help me hide the situation before my dad found out.
I rushed home, and when I got there, my mom already had all of the supplies ready: a frozen spoon, a toothbrush, some lotion, and concealer. I suspected that she had dealt with hickey trauma of her own before, but I didn’t dare mention that to her. We were both silent, sitting in her bathroom. She worked quickly and I’ve got to say, she made those “love bites” her bitch.
The cold spoon against the splotches on my neck felt nice and decreased their swelling. She put lotion on the toothbrush and slowly swiped from the center of each hickey to the edge, causing the color to lighten and spread wider so it wasn’t as noticeable. Then she covered what was left with the concealer. The hickeys weren’t completely disguised, but they were far less noticeable. I would have never been able to hide them on my own.
I knew she was mad at me, but she still helped me out. I’m not sure if it was a mother-daughter lesson kind of thing or if she just really didn’t want my dad to find out what I had been up to. Either way, I was glad she was there for me in the time of my hickey nightmare.
“Make sure to wear your hair down,” she said. And with that, she walked out the door.
Have you ever had to cover up hickeys from a big make out session? Do you get mad if your boo leaves hickeys on your neck? Tell me everything in the comments!

my first bf gave me about 24 hickeys on my neck i didnt care because i was (in the moment) but afterwords i regreted it bekuz i had all these ugly hickies on my neck and i froze about 13 spoons and they all god warm fast after bein put on my neck
i tried the rubbin the peny trick it didnt work :/ i tried the hot wash cloth it didnt work i was freakin out finalley i said eff it and grabed my conceler put it on there then added liquid cover up and then powder cover up but could still see them -_-
I always tell my boyfriend “only in spots that would be covered by the clothes for the season” so obviously summer he’s pretty limited haha, but he’s good about it. Once he left a giant red one on my boob and I couldn’t wear scoop-necks for a week and another on my cheek cuz he was being silly -.- It looked like I got punched in the face lol. After those, that rule came in.
Lmao embaressing. At least you didn’t have school.
I always die when I get hickeys! I don’t own concealer so pretty much my boyfriend has to place them in the right spot so my hair can hide it. If my hair can’t hide it I fight thru the pain with a sweater or hide from my parents :p works well I do say!
I got hickeys all over when I was studying abroad one time, so bad that concealer barely helped, and even though it was really hot out I wore my surf rash guard top to cover some of them. When I went to class the next morning everyone knew, it was a day to remember.
Hahaha, I had that happen to me! I had a giant massive one on my neck. But meh I didn’t care. My parents got super pissed but I was like whatever.
i’m glad that has never happened to me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
one time i was over my friends house and my boyfriends wanted to hang out with us .so we invited him over and just hung out for a little .her mom asked if we wanted dinner but we had already ate something before .so my friend went down stairs and had dinner and my bf was just messing around with me trying to bite me (like just messing around of course lol) and he got ahold of my neck and just went for it .. i pulled away bc i was in shock after i told him no hickeys !! it was a huge mark i was so mad bc i had a funeral to go to and i didn’t wanna look trashy . so i called my mom and told her what happened she was really disappointed but she was understanding ..she helped me cover it up and i wore my hair down bc it was long and would cover some of it up ..we go to the funeral the next day my dad didn’t notice but a few ppl did ..i had to lie ( i hate lying btw i think its wrong ) and i told everyone that i got needles in my neck from the dermatologist bc i had to get needles in my neck from a scar that i has when i was a baby. lol i never want that to happen again !!!
lol wow that is really crazy. i never let my bf suck on my neck becuz of that reason oh and did i mention my dad is a marine he would kill me and the bf he doesnt know about i usually let him suck on my boobs so that way i am the only one who can see them.
